In communication field, to improve user data flow and system throughput, it is introduced by R5 standard protocol of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) a High Speed Packet Shared Transmission Channel (High Speed Downlink Shared Channel, HS-DSCH) which maps the physical channel that adopts the time division manner and the code division manner and adopts HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat) and AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding), so that the peak rate can reach 10.8 Mbps to 30 Mbps. The final object is to increase system capacity and reduce transmission delay by providing high speed packet service access, thereby increasing QoS (Quality of Service) demand for users.
3GPP protocol standards enhance the forward access state in RRC (Radio Resource Control) connecting mode (CELL_FACH , Cell Forward Access Channel) and/or the paging state in RRC connecting mode (CELL_PCH , Cell Paging Channel/URA_PCH, UTRAN Registration Area Paging Channel), that is, HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology can also be used in the state of CELL_FACH and/or CELL_PCH/URA_PCH (herein the use of HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology in the state of CELL_FACH and/or CELL_PCH/URA_PCH is called the common state of enhanced connecting mode for short). However, the principle of HSDPA technology is that the user equipment needs to first monitor HS-SCCH (Shared Control Channel for High Speed Downlink Shared Channel) via H-RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identification of High Speed Downlink Shared Channel) to acquire signaling parameters of High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel and can then receive data of HS-PDSCH (High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel).
When the user equipment is in the common state of enhanced connecting mode, the data of logical channels such as CCCH (Common Control Channel), PCCH (Paging Control Channel), DCCH (Dedicated Control Channel), DTCH (Dedicated Traffic Channel), MCCH (Multimedia Control Channel) and MTCH (Multimedia Traffic Channel) etc. can be all mapped onto High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel to send, and the user equipment and base station need to obtain one predefined H-RNTI identification to guarantee that the user in the common state of enhanced connecting mode can correctly receive data in High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel.
